The people who want to do citizens security a political issue probably are
the same comunist reaccionary wich disagree with the future Army
privatization, the ones wich disagree with the new defense private monopoly
wich looking for their economic grow will impulse many wars creating a lot
of progress and employment.
Now seriously, citizens security is not another polical issue but the first
and main one!, because without security others issues hasn´t sense, in
other time I enjoy thinking about the posibilities that will bring the
incorporation of Aritficial Inteligence at information ofert: from the most
romantic message in a bottle ,without address, sealing with inteligence on
the net in order to search the person wich mach with you, to the most
practical mesages wich have diferents behaviors depending on the
replies,..., but without security such things only will bring more risks
and harms, progress is worhless without security!
Free speach will become a wider concept wich involves new free ways of
comunication but don´t call censorship the right of people to stop things
that may harm their information, their belives, their children education or
what ever they want!

I agree with you - anything that is happening automatically and without
the chance for the user to say "yes" or "no thank you" is calling for this
kind of attacks. It should be part of ActiveX or any other technology.
Nothing should autoexecute.
Completely disagree!, average users can not become security experts in
order to reply these questions, average users need public services, with
private or public management, in wich they can trust.
ILOVEYOU is reponsability of one hacker, its consecuences are
responsability, inresponability in this case, of Internet goberment,
private companies like a private Army don´t have any interest in citizens
security, it´s only responsability of goberment!, and if companies don´t
follow goberment recomendations they must advise people about the risk of
using these products, in a, I hope future, competive market this will be
enought to change companies mind about security issues.

Jacob,
Given a choice between reducing crime via more government surveillance
and reducing crime via software that doesn't do stupid things, I'd far
prefer the latter.
Completely agree!, to put the hacker on jail do not solve the citizens
harm, which is the prevencion plan to quickly stop virus epidemic? when is
going Internet goberment going to asume their security prevention
responsability?...

to bring in the Unix vs Windows debate. Office, Windows, Unix, Linux, Mac
are all great as long as somebody likes to work with them.
I personally like Microsoft products, but I respect those who don't - and
expect the same respect from them.
